Clomid journey to BFP.....Anyone welcome

Hello ladies! Just looking for some buddies to help cheer each other on, during this next month of TTC. I am 35 and my DH is 33. Today is cd-25 or 13dpo of cycle #5 on clomid. I'm about to start another round of clomid, ovidrel, and iui. I'm just waiting for AF to show. I've already gotten my BFN and having cramping. We've been TTC #1 since December of last year. Hopefully this will be our month.

This thread is a continuation of a two previous threads. Anyone is welcome to jump in, and join this amazing group of ladies. I don't know what I would have done without their support.

If you get a BFP, please join the following thread as well. This is a great group of ladies that got their BFP's on our other threads. They will be the help you're looking for in the next part of your journey. community.babycenter.com/post/a3604...

Cec-how are you doing today?! I hope better :) Gina is so right! Women hear/say pink, men hear/say blue-we are totally different and handle things completely different!

Gina-that helped a ton! That was the first response that has ever made since about the whole ovulation/AF thing :) thank u!! Did u go to UK?! Crazy! I don't think I've met anyone on here from the same state, that I knew of :)

Keepingreal-I'm so sorry ;( it's so hard. We are here for u.

Scat-what is prometomin? Haven't heard of it.

Caffee-how do they do IUI? Like the actual process....?does it hurt?! What is the price range? I really hope you get the go for your trigger shot next Thursday!! I go in Saturday for my follicle u/s, had my last dose of Clomid last night.

Toy-your doc couldn't explain anything g withtthe negative test and 2 days later hcg of 524? I'm like you, can't believe you had a negative and then found out 2 days later your hcg was 524. I'm so story for your lose ;( I had a mc in April 2011, it is so hard to go thru.
Sending you lists of baby dust!!!

thanks, bmmo, like i said im just taking it one day at a time. my bf, has already tld me. next around. im going 2 take the first 12 weeks off work. n no doctor until im almost 9 weeks alone. im already working part time when i go back. n until the 15th of this month. he wants me on bed rest.

Well ladies, I guess this won't be my round--yesterday was day 3 without bding---we didnt talk much last night--but I did however have a yell session-lol---but oh well. I am ok with it because there is nothing I can do now!! Maybe I O'd before--probably not but maybe I did. I go to get my prog test on Monday--we will see if my numbers have gone up since I was on 100mg this cycle. Have a wonderful Friday, ladies!!

Ok I'm ready to join this group if that's ok with you ladies! I just feel like this is the place for me and after reading about others' DH's I have to vent! Haha....mine doesn't want to know when it's time. He feels pressured. But when it IS time nd I wait until I know I can't wait anymore, he still isn't interested! We BD maybe once a week! It's agonizing. I've tried to be subtle, I've openly complained and I've just seduced him. Only the seduction works. I think he knows my game by now! Lol....there's my confession.

Oh and Clomid cycle 2 100mg days 4-8. Today or tomorrow look like O day!! Hoping to time this right.

ladyoflovers- We're both going to have our iui's this next week. Looks like we'll be in the TWW together. At least I'll have someone to walk with me through those trigger shot mood swings :)

toy- Welcome to the group! MY DH also has a slight forward mobility issue. He's been taking vitamins for it for the past month. Why don't you hold off on giving yourself the trigger on cd-11. If you trigger on that day, but don't have your iui until cd-14, chances are you've missed the egg. If you could do it the afternoon of cd-12 at home, it would be a better timing for the iui. I've never gotten a positive pg test result,except for the two weeks the trigger shot was in my system.

bmommy- For a complete round of iui for me is $800, which includes: clomid, ovidrel (trigger shot), follicle u/s, sperm wash, and the iui. If I do a double iui, I will only have to pay an additional $450 this cycle. That's because I won't have have to take all the meds again, or have the cost of another follicle u/s with it. The actual iui isn't painful. I did have a little pain with mine while she was inserting the tube into the inner uterus opening. That's only because my opening was not straight through, it was curved around to the side. It was a very tolerable discomfort though.

cec- I'm so sorry. I wish your DH wouldn't come on board with you. What did he say about the letter you left him?

brklyn- Sorry your DH is giving you a difficult time. Is he ready to have a baby? Welcome to this amazing group of women!

AFM- I go to work this afternoon around 2:45- and won't see home again until Monday. I begin my clomid tomorrow night, and I'm thinking I might take it around 5:00 in the afternoon instead of 8:00 like I usually do.

I took it the 23rd through the 27th. I was in Florida on vacation so it was a great distraction. I am feeling a lot of pressure and bloating today so I'm thinking it's almost time. He better get on board! I know he wants another baby but we are both so tired at night after working and caring for three busy kids. This will be his second. My girls are from previous marriage. I'm 40 but hes only 33 so we don't have time to wait.

I can understand about the time crunch Michelle--I am in one as well. From everything I read and see that people say is not to tell the dh about ttc or medications or anything--its crazy how we always have to cater to them--ughhh--but I wont mention it next time if I continue another round with my ob---I just don't see him wanting to bd eod regularly--cause thats not the norm for us. But I will give it a try---We are talking now and all is well I suppose--just letting it go and moving forward!!
